I LOVE this so much. Maori MPs in the New Zealand parliament protest attempts by the centre-right government and far-right "ACT" coalition partners to pass legislation that water down way treaty rights of Maori.
New Zealand is one of the only places (the only?) in the British Empire where the Crown signed a treaty with all Indigenous peoples at the time of contact. It has shaped NZ Law and Society ever since!
Thank you to @b9AcE for the video.

The passion in tearing up of the bill is just epic. @b9AcE

@blogdiva @b9AcE we're not allowed to bring recording devices into the House of Commons of Canada, Senate or any of the Provincial Legislatures here. It never made sense to me. THIS is why it SHOULD be allowed!

i boosted them all. go back on my TL. it's feel more and more epic as you see it from different angles and see all the people who joined in. literally, almost the whole floor and people up in the balconies.

@blogdiva @b9AcE @Paulatics the 'official' one which mostly only shows the speaker looking annoyed... but the audio of the protests continues after it fades to black is kind of perfect.

@chris They channel something ancient and powerful and I feel rather milquetoast and small by comparison. Good on them. They are a credit to their ancestors.

@peterbrown @b9AcE that's correct, but NZ has the distinction of being the only place where what became the entire country, the Indigenous population signed a treaty en masse and as you said, held the British Crown to it.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] The power of Maori influence for me is best exemplified by the singing of Pokarekare ana, a love song, after the acceptance of the amendments to the Marriage Act to provide for equal rights for everyone, 11 years ago. This is how government represents people. #loveislove https://youtu.be/q9pOJ8Bc_-g?si=fMdMz9DaJcF92EiT

Calling this mob a centre-right government does them a disservice.
They are a far-right government led by skinhead Christopher Luxon, and the most corrupt government I can remember in my reasonably long life.
This bill is an attempted coup. It is trying to invalidate New Zealand's most important constitutional instrument with a cynical bunch of specious lies.
The date of this bill's introduction was brought forward to conveniently coincide with Luxon's trip to APEC.

@chris @b9AcE I don’t like to promote Substack, but there’s a NZ sports blogger who breaks this down as a play by play with perfect linkouts for context if needed. She does an incredible (and supportive ) job of making it understandable for thems with minimal awareness of the political and historical context.
